Lomachenko to stay in the amatures

[Banderivets]

Sorry if this is a repost but I havent been able to log into boxingscene for a week.

Anyway he says he wants to go the Olympics one more time before he turns pro.

So if any of you got excited, you can forget it.

doesn't make sense.

Man that sucks. What else does he have to prove in the am's any more. He'll be 24 at the next olympics, not old by any means, but in those fours years he could be a world champ or close to it. Well it's the choice he's made so the best of luck to him and I can't wait to see him in the pro ranks.

I like the word armature.

This sucks.

He has nothing left to prove as an amateur - he went through his five opponents easily to win Gold.

Pro boxing needs talented fighter like Lomachenko.
